Captain's Log, Post Mortem Report [20240928_0901]
Hospital rot was no different from the police rot that painted illusions of security. Observing management standards felt like watching a scene from {Fawlty_Towers. Their culture couldn't organise or keep records. Some services even lost crucial documents. Being deemed [safe enough to work with children] depended on police judgments instead of the community grapevine that once held the «everybody already knows!» knowledge. Dialling 000 or 911 for emergencies was pitched as a reliable rescue service. In the bush; ---| |reality showed how «you're already dead!» for needing to do that, instead of being able to rely on a neighbour to give or receive help.

In Memory of The Tutankhamun In Australia
I remembered the solemn look in his eyes as he stared at his dead father. His face bore a mix of pensive contempt and relief.

«I can't believe this is finally over. I can't believe this is the end of you. I need to brace myself with this memory of you no longer breathing in front of me while I try to process my second sentence. I have to keep staring at you, capturing how you will no longer be a feature in my life».

It felt similar to the memories of other isolates. Anything admitted into that room was facing the approach of death.

Cultural Heritage
Mum repeatedly relayed the funny story of my father's bedside companion from Azerbaijan. He made Dad laugh when he ripped a fart and yelled «Azerbaijan!» instead of «Ibrahim!» (Abraham) because it wasn't a «Yusuf» (Joseph). Makes me wonder who started the trend of labelling farts with names, as this practice appears across many cultures and languages. Who started it? Was it a film? Comedy was needed to distract from the misery of {that_which_called_itself_human, incapable of understanding basic phrases like «NO PORK! NO GRAVY!», in English.

NB - this is a YARA (wound) TRACKER ~ the work is threading & processing a trauma line. Observations of the environment(s) during the time of my father's death.
